Read the manual:

If regex is all you want to build, there are detailed instructions here: 
http://www.boost.org/libs/regex/doc/install.html#vc
These are a little out of date and refer to vc6, but later versions use the 
same process, just substitute the appropriate makefile name (vc71.mak 
instead of vc6.mak).

Alternatively follow the Boost-wide getting started instructions here: 
http://www.boost.org/more/getting_started.html#Preparation

Finally, as someone else suggested you can add the regex source files (in 
libs/regex/src) directly to your project if you'd rather (you may end up 
linking in things you don't actually need if you do this however), you will 
need to define BOOST_REGEX_NO_LIB as a project wide define (under 
preprocessor options in your IDE) to stop the auto-linking kicking in if you 
go this route.
